April has arrived, and it’s now cherry blossom season. Many trees around town are now pink; it’s a very pretty time of year.

You can also catch cherry blossom petals for crafting.

I actually need quite a few of the DIY recipes still, because I didn’t get them all last year. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any of those recipes today either…even though I shot down several balloon presents.

I received my latest reward from Gullivarrr in the mail, and he sent me a sea captain’s coat. It’s obviously not as cool as the pirate-ship cannon he sent me five days ago, but they can’t all be winners.

Nook’s Cranny was selling some Bunny Day candy today, so I bought some. It’s too bad we can’t actually eat it.

Jolly Redd was today’s island visitor, so I checked out his art for sale. He had a real jolly painting, a fake famous painting, a fake mystic statue, and a robust statue that I wasn’t sure about. I already had the jolly painting in the museum, so I bought the robust statue.

After making my rounds, I returned home to do some crafting. I made a bunch of stuff that I’ve never crafted for one reason or another. That included most of the zodiac furniture, as well as some more recent recipes, like the space shuttle (which I added to my space room upstairs) and the shamrock wand. I just wish there was a tab for uncrafted items, so I didn’t have to search through everything for items without check marks. ✔️✔️✔️

After I was done, I ran into Rizzo outside. He already seems to be getting sick of the eggs everywhere. I can’t blame him.

You know it must be April Fools Day when even Rizzo is making sense. 😛

See you all next time!

Yesterday, Hornsby commented about the face on my shirt. It was actually a frog face, since I was wearing a frog tee. He liked the shirt, but he said a Hornsby-faced shirt would be even better. 😛

I bought an imperial dining lantern at Nook’s Cranny, and I gave it to Apollo as a gift. I thoroughly enjoyed the shocked look on his face. 😀

Wisp was up on Rainbow Road, and I collected (and returned) his spirits, in exchange for a cute yellow wall. Flick was also in town, and I sold him seven bugs (mostly emperor butterflies) for about 40k.

Today, Rizzo sent me an item that he found in his closet. He said it reminds him of me; it’s a veiled gardening hat.

Gullivarrr was washed up on the beach, and I woke him up from his deep sea slumber. It’s only been five days since his last appearance! I was thinking Gullivarrr and Gulliver alternated weeks, but that’s not always the case.

I went diving for his communicator, and I found it on my 2nd attempt. He will send me a reward in the mail.

Nook’s Cranny has continued to have a new Bunny Day item in stock each day, and I particularly liked the Bunny Day topiary they had today.

It really just makes me miss the other topiaries that New Leaf had. I hope they come back at some point!

At the amusement park, I saw Tia walking into the dead end behind the arcade games!

She said she forgot to each lunch, but she’s sure not going to find any snacks back there!

Sorry, but no Friday Night Forest this week.

Yesterday, I received my whoopee cushion in the mail. I tested it out, and it makes several different farty noises, not just the old froggy chair fart sound. By the way, I checked the catalog again, and they have different colors available each day. I also received a pirate-ship cannon in the mail from Gullivarrr. Very cool!

I completed a T-Rex fossil (well, aside from the one already in the museum), and I put it near my Mario obstacle course. It’s just outside of the Super Mario Odyssey area, since that game has a level where you can take control of a T-Rex.

At the plaza, I joined Apollo, Bones, and Tybalt for K.K. Slider’s show. He performed K.K. Salsa for the four of us. The song sounds better live than it does in aircheck form.

Today, I found a freakish, insane rabbit hopping around near my house! That’s right, the evil Zipper T. Bunny has returned!

He told me to search for the six types of eggs found around town, and he gave me ten water eggs to get me started. Bunny Day is coming up next Sunday, so we’ll have to put up with all these eggs until then.

But I didn’t want this hideous, unnatural beast in my town! So there was only one solution. Thanks, Gullivarrr!

On a brighter note, I took advantage of today’s rain by catching myself a coelacanth. It’s been a while since I’ve seen one of these!

I spent some time diving to try to find a deep sea egg, until I realized that New Horizons doesn’t have deep sea eggs. Oops. 😛 But even once I found all six types of eggs, Zipper didn’t acknowledge that fact. But Nook’s Cranny did have a Bunny Day planter box for sale.

Hornsby asked if he should move out of town, and I told him no. He’s going to be sticking around for quite a while.

Wisp appeared in town tonight, and he was hanging out on the Mario obstacle course!

After I caught and returned the five pieces of his spirit, he rewarded with a folding floor lamp.

By the way, I finally uploaded my Annniversary Party video today. Check it out if you haven’t seen it yet!

Good luck with Zipper T. Bunny, everyone! See you next time!
